About Christopher Scott

teaches history and government at a college in Houston. He is passionate about life, liberty, and property and wants to help people learn about the ever-increasing growth and power of the coercive state.

In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

In this short but amazing article, a doctor in California explains his front line view of how he feels about health care in America. As you can read, we already have a shortage of primary care physicians. This guy is making half of what he did 20 years ago. Is that any way to make primary care physicians out of med students? I think not. This should be a wake-up call to the knuckleheads in Congress.

Yuri Maltsev probably left the Soviet Union because he was tired of the whole experiment, which lasted 74 years (1917-1991). In this article, he warns us about socialized health care systems by describing the one he left. Maybe he should get himself invited over to the White House for a beer with Barack - Yuri, bring the article with you!

When the government taxes and regulates too much at the same time they print money out of thin air, disaster ensues. As reported in today's Wall Street Journal, there has been no private sector growth for jobs in the past ten years. The overall number of jobs increased because the government hired more tax feeders. Unbelievable. No new private sector jobs in America for a decade? Ya think it's time to get the government out of the economy?

My Favorite Quote

"Of all the enemies of true liberty, war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instrument for bringing the many under the domination of the few." - James Madison
